Unique, challenging, glorious. There's simply so much love poured into Crypt of the NecroDancer, that it's hard not to fall deeply under its spell.
The best version of one of the best games in the last few years. Brilliant.
A superb piece narrative experience that never outstays its welcome, but does leave you wanting more.
Shiny new visuals and plenty of content, MKX's story is a riot with great gameplay to go with it. But there are worrying signs within.
A fantastic concept that stays true to its vision, but just falls short where it matters - though will be popular with speed-runners.
A decent finish to an action filled romp that leaves plenty of room for a sequel, yet also satisfies while doing so.
It took way too long, but it's a fantastic second episode in what may well end up Telltale's best series to date.
One of the best character action games of the last generation is now on the new consoles, in 1080/60, with all the available content and fan suggestions included. Essential.
The longest episode yet, this picks up the ball and runs with it, and looks to be building to a tremendous finale.
Revelations 2 continues at a rate of knots, upping the action in favour or slowing the actual story exposition a little.
A surprisingly good return to the world of Resident Evil, that could pave the way for something rather special.
The usual high quality Nintendo level design and charm makes up for the lack of challenge and longevity.
This really is "more Geometry Wars", but it's been quite some time since we've had a new game. The campaign level design offers something new, but the classic mode is where it's really at.
An exciting opening to a series that could end up being Telltale's best yet. There's something here for everyone.
With the best level design yet, this is more LittleBigPlanet, but the new characters help keep it fresh.
This is how you do DLC. Superb value for money that truly gives you a reason to revisit one of 2014's best games.
A game that puts player fun ahead of everything else, and is bursting with colour and character.
Brutal, gory, and one of the most tense games in recent memory - though not without fault.
The toys still aren't cheap, and jumping in here (the new starter pack only has two Skylanders, as it also has two traps) means you're probably going to want to get a few extra toys right out of the gate. But Toys for Bob continue to hold fun in the highest regard, and that's worth championing. But Lord only knows where they go next.
Alien: Isolation is a phenomenal title marred by only one major issue that some will overlook, and others will find a deal-breaker. It's comfortably the best Alien game ever made, and delivers authenticity along with a new story that is worth seeing, experiencing, and fleeing from into the darkness. Never once allowing the immersion to be broken, Creative Assembly have done it. They have actually done it.
